File No. 70-10088

Dear Sirs:

I am an attorney employed by American Electric Power Service Corporation, a subsidiary of American Electric Power, Inc. ("AEP") and have acted as counsel for American Electric Power Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") in connection with the various financing and related transactions (the "Transactions") authorized in the Order of the Commission in this file through June 30, 2004.

In connection with the transactions proposed and described in the Application or Declaration on Form U-1 filed with this Commission in the captioned proceeding, and the Certificate of Notification to which this Opinion is attached, I have examined, among other things, the Application or Declaration on Form U-1, as amended.

Based upon such investigation as I have deemed necessary, it is my opinion that:

(a) All state laws applicable to the proposed transactions have been complied with;
(b) The securities issued by American Electric Power Company, Inc. ("Issuer") and its subsidiaries are valid and binding
     obligations of each Issuer in accordance with their terms; subject, however, to the qualification that the
     enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
     affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general principles of equity; and
(c) The consummation of the proposed transactions has not violated the legal rights of the holders of any securities issued by
     Issuer or any associate company thereof.

The opinions expressed above in respect of the Proposed Transactions described in the Application are subject to the following assumptions or conditions:

(a) The Transactions have been duly authorized and approved to the extent required by state law by the Boards of Directors
     of AEP and the Subsidiaries.
(b) The Securities and Exchange Commission has duly entered an appropriate order or orders granting and permitting
     the Application to become effective.
(c) The Transactions have been consummated in accordance with any required approvals, authorizations, consents,
     certificates and orders of any state commission or regulatory authority and all such
     required approvals, authorizations, consents, certificates and orders shall have been obtained and
     remain in effect.

I hereby consent to the filing of this "past tense" opinion as an exhibit to the above-mentioned Certificate of Notification.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Ann B. Graf
